The wide adoption of Artificial Intelligence is profoundly impacting many industries, perhaps none more so than the semiconductor industry. Beyond serving as a growth driver for chips across a diverse range of applications, AI and semiconductors are beginning a virtuous cycle where AI is helping to design more powerful chips that in turn enable more advanced AI. The semiconductor industry’s path to $1 trillion in annual revenue by the end of the decade is promising, thanks in large part to AI, but what will that journey actually look like?
This webinar will examine the industry’s AI-driven growth opportunities in depth, while looking at the technological innovation needed to fuel the market expansion. Dr. Handel Jones, CEO of IBS, and author of When AI Rules the World, will share his analysis of how AI will shape the outlook for semiconductor end-markets and segments – along with the race to achieve 1.0nm technology nodes and accelerate the virtuous AI-semiconductor development cycle. He will also cover the future of semiconductor market growth in the AI era as well as areas of opportunities.

Register now to be part of this important conversation and contribute to shaping a sustainable future for the semiconductor industry!
Worldwide, companies in the semiconductor value chain are undergoing paradigm shifts in how sustainable business is conducted, governed, and reported. From engineering to the board room, the number of interdependent corporate functions charged with improving corporate sustainability performance is growing rapidly, with implications for decision-making across the enterprise.
New global sustainability regulations mean that key decisions regarding a company's sustainability strategy can now have significant regulatory implications. Understanding how one decision affects (or forecloses) another is critical, and companies must think several steps ahead to put themselves in a position to achieve their sustainability objectives without painting themselves into a corner.
This webinar will focus on discrete examples where such an approach is paramount – including making climate risk materiality determinations, adopting a climate transition plan, making product-related sustainability claims, disclosing conflict minerals smelter names, and selecting a double materiality assessment methodology. For each example, we will leverage data to examine industry trends, identify the specific potential issues, and suggest practical strategies to navigate those issues.
To ground the conversation, we will illustrate various ways in which these issues can come up in practice by discussing a set of hypothetical sustainability decisions, the related regulatory implications, and approaches that balance sustainability objectives and regulatory considerations.
As the semiconductor industry prepares for the coming wave of new sustainability laws and regulations, companies have an opportunity to develop a regulatory strategy for sustainability that takes an integrated approach to regulatory requirements, encourages coordination and collaboration between the sustainability and legal departments, minimizes regulatory burden and compliance risk, and enables sustainable and responsible business. We will share common features of strategies that have been successful in this regard and provide our recommendations regarding operationalizing such a strategy in your organization.
This event inaugurates the SEMI webinar series, “Global State of Play: Sustainability Regulations, Reporting, & Incentives.” New in 2024, this series offers semiconductor industry professionals the chance to interact with top-tier experts on the most pressing challenges in compliance, disclosure, and strategy for sustainable business.
